    I use e-10. Talked to a gas man that said less than 10 year old stuff would have no problem with e10. He also said he hoped folks kept believing e10 was bad because they made more per gallon on non ethanol.

    Whatever’s convenient and I’ve never had gas be the problem of any motor issues.

    Nope. Have a local independent place that carries 92 non ethanol. All I run in any small engine.

    I've used it in my previous boat & current boat ... 1984 70HP Yamaha - 1999 90HP Mercury ... no "ethanol" related problems in either case. I ran nothing but gas in the Yammy, but the Merc has had both Stabil & Seafoam in it's gas (at one time or the other, and sometimes both at the same time ... just not by me, but the previous owner). The boat/Merc is sitting in a storage building with a full tank of gas & Seafoam added, and has been there since Nov. and won't likely be in the water for another month or so ... and I fully expect it to crank up as usual, when it is finally on the water, and blow a bit more smoke than normal on the first startup, but then go back to it's normal self for the remainder of the time I use it this year.

    Whatever is convenient- Never hurt my yamaha 30hp 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I’ve been thru several fuel lines in the last 15 years but nowadays i drain the line if its gonna set up for a couple months and this new blue marpac fuel line is more pliable.

I burn what's convenient, sometimes non ethanol, but I ALWAYS put Ethanol Stabil or Marine Stabil in my tank. I don't know which it's called. There's one station north of the town I live in that has nothing but 100% gas, in every grade. When I have time, that's where I buy gas, but I don't always have time.

    I think the key is don't let it sit in you tank. I run non-ethanol when I can but you can't get it just anywhere. If you know you won't be on the water for a while run all the gas out of your system. Have I had issues with ethanol? Yes I have but only when left in the carbs/injectors for longer than I wanted. Run non-ethanol when you can but running ethanol will not be the end of the world.
